Modes (Setting the Exposure for Shooting)
Pictures can be shot with greater control by setting the
shooting menu (
A
64) items in addition to setting the
shutter speed or aperture value manually according to
shooting conditions and requirements.
• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on the
setting of
AF area mode that can be selected in the
A
,
B
,
C
or
D
tab after pressing the
d
button.
• The camera has 9 focus areas, and when AF area mode is set to Auto (default
setting), it automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to
9 areas) light in green.
The procedure for shooting pictures at the desired brightness (exposure) by
adjusting the shutter speed or aperture value is called “determine exposure.”
The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in pictures to be shot
vary depending on the combinations of shutter speed and aperture value even if
the exposure is the same.
Rotate the command dial or multi selector to set the shutter speed and aperture
value.
The setting method of the flexible program, shutter speed, and aperture value can
be changed using the
Toggle Av/Tv selection in the setup menu (
